Advanced Style Stockholm

I havebeen in Stockholm thepastfewdayswithlimited access tointernet and amnowatthe airport onmywaytoHelsinki.When I askedthewomanabove for a photo, sheaskedwhy I wouldn'twanttotake a pictureofsomeonebeautiful,someoneyounger, whyher? I explainedthat I don'tthinkofbeauty in terms ofage and thatshewas in factverybeautiful.Shewashesitant,but in theendshethankedmewith a smileonherface.

I must tell you that this beatiful lady (90 years!) is a friend of mine. Her name is Kerstin ben Salem. When I was i Stockholm this week and had dinner with her, she told me about that her picture had been taken in June, but she does not have a computer. We found this blog and she was so pleased and proud to see her picture in the blog! She is not only beatiful - even more in real life - but also a wonderful person and a talented artist. She was married to the Tunisian painter Aly ben Salem who died ten years ago.
